Mid America Working Terrier Trial

06.30.2009 - Inseguire attended our first trial in almost 5 years, the MAWTA trial in Norfolk NE. We had an amazing time, met some new friends, and brought home plenty of 'loot'. Our Terriers showed very well with Cairnbrae Inspiration taking home Open Bitch Champion, Reserve Open Terrier Champion, Best Brood Bitch and Produce, and Reserve Family Champion on the first day. She was also awarded Best Brood Bitch and Produce and Reserve Family Champion on the second day. Littermates Inseguire Calliope and Inseguire King's Ransom were equally impressive. 'King' was awarded Puppy Dog Champion on the first day and Reserve Puppy Dog Champion on the second day. 'Cali' won Reserve Puppy Bitch Champion and Reserve Puppy Champion on the first day and Reserve Puppy Bitch Champion on the second day.

We also had the opportunity to go hunting with Stephanie Poppe and Candy Butterfield, two amazing women with a great sense of humor. Although we never did find anything other than skunk we had a blast looking. Sadie checked every hole and even Cali entered and looked around. It never ceases to amaze me the instincts of these little dogs, see hole = stick head in. It was a great outing all in all, well worth the 16 hour drive down. Also a big thank you to Patti Podliska of Hidden Acres Jack Russells for organizing the hunting trips, introducing me to some new friends, and generally welcoming us, dogs included, with open arms. Thank you Patti you are the reason this trip was so much fun.
